Synopsis

Before there was The Walking Dead there was Deadworld. First published in the 1980s, Deadworld is one of indie comics longest running horror series with over 100 issues and graphic novels in released and over 1,000,000 copies sold. While being considered the 'godfather' of all the zombie apocalyptic comics that followed.

The epic finale to the first volume of Deadworld as the last three issues (#24-#26) are collected along with the introduction story of The Dead-Killer in Archives BOOK SIX. In addition, “A Christmas in Louisiana” is included from the pages of “A Caliber Christmas” special edition.

In the main story, the group decides to make a stand at the fort and lure the zombies in for a slaughter so that they can make their escape across the bridge into the desolated Upper Peninsula.

BOOK SIX is part of the Deadworld Archive series that brings all of the original Deadworld saga into print for the first time in 25 years.

"Deadworld was hardcore. The violence was harsh, and writer Gary Reed's vision was dark." - Dana Tillusz, ComicReaders.

"...remarkably literate and starkly imaginative, and is a winner in every scene, in every shot, in every line of dialog." - The Lottery Party.

“If you like zombies, horror, and/or post-apocalyptic stories you should definitely be checking this series out.” – Comicspectrum.
